jan 1, 1958 - Better for your Child to be Dead than Unchaste [Part 8]
Description:
"Loss of virtue is too great a price to pay even for the preservation of one’s life—better dead clean, than alive unclean. Many is the faithful Latter-day Saint parent who has sent a son or daughter on a mission or otherwise out into the world with the direction:“I would rather have you come back in a pine box with your virtue than return alive, without it.”
